german chocolate cake
my husband has always been a huge fan of german chocolate cake. when we lived in nyc and would go to magnolia bakery, that's what he would always order.

twice baked potato pie
while some like to call it loaded mashed potatoes or twice baked potato casserole, in our house we prefer twice baked potato pie. okay, so this really isn't a pie. not like i think of a pie, anyway. you don't bake it in a pie plate, you don't cut it into slices, and it doesn't have a crust and/or a ...
